Valiant War God: New Character Byakko Joins the Battle!
The new character Byakko appears in the "Byakko Limited Nyankoropon," available on both PC and PS4.
Byakko inflicts "wounds" on opponents, then consumes accumulated wounds to unleash a powerful ultimate technique. Judging the distance from the opponent well is key to efficiently landing wounds.
Use speedy, acrobatic actions to leap freely around the field and land the ultimate technique in style!
Byakko
A good-natured deity who prefers protecting the weak and fighting the strong, and who readily listens to the wishes of hard-working humans. However, Byakko's rough speech and intimidating appearance often lead to misunderstandings.
